What This Skill Does

Hiking route guidance agent that operates through Telegram. Users send location messages to get real-time off-route detection and directional guidance from imported GPX/KML routes. Also handles route discovery on 2bulu, weather alerts via Open-Meteo, and overnight trip safety and gear checklists.

All route geometry is calculated deterministically, so LLM calls are minimal, making frequent location checks during a hike cheap to run.

When to use it

  • Checking if you've drifted off a trail mid-hike
  • Getting direction guidance by sending your GPS location in Telegram
  • Finding public hiking tracks on 2bulu without logging in
  • Generating a gear list before an overnight hike
  • Receiving weather change alerts during a summit or trail run

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

  2. 2Bind the route to the chat session with a routeId
  3. 3Receive the user's Telegram location message
  4. 4Run deterministic off-route distance calculation against the stored polyline
  5. 5Return a 2-line guide protocol response with bearing and distance to route
OUTPUT

Two-line reply showing whether the user is on-route and the direction to return to the trail
